Laura's Pink Stove

I am wanting to do a blog post but my iphoto is in disarray. I am running a program to remove duplicates (why isn't this a feature of iphoto?) and it takes 23 hours to cycle through all our photos. Which wouldn't be so bad-except the fact when it was almost complete yesterday I was vacuuming and bumped the power cord and had to begin again. "Arrgh!" I say. Anyway I hope to get a post done this week, until then I leave you with a sneak peek at things to come....

This is Laura Ingalls Wilder's kitchen in Mansfield, MO. I was in love with this stove. It is pink! We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the home and the postcards available made the stove look greenish white. So when I found this one representing its' true color on the web I had to nab it. Her home is my dream home. It was left as it was upon her death n 1957. She died in February and in May of the same year the home was available to tour. Until I get my own post up about visiting Mansfield you can view Solanah's.
